After helping build UCF's sports programs, Orsini does same at SMU

 
There just might be something special about the coffee that SMU Athletic Director Steve Orsini drinks.

Or maybe it just seems that way because no matter where he seems to end up as an administrator, his tasks inevitably wind up being the same.

Orsini's past and present will go heads up this weekend in Dallas as SMU hosts UCF for the first time. It's a huge game for the Knights as they look to close out their second Conference USA East Division crown, but it's also Orsini's first matchup against his former school.

He's been the AD at SMU for about a year-and-a-half now. But as he begins to search for a new football coach following the dismissal of Phil Bennett, he said this week that the tasks he's facing in Dallas are very similar to the ones he faced at his old job at UCF.
